“We’re just finishing off a few things here and then we’ll be home,” Elias said softly. “Is everything still okay?”My eyes darted over to the couch where Alex was sleeping. “Yes.” “Alex sleeping?” “He fell asleep a few minutes after I gave him his pills,” I explained. “That’s good,” he muttered. “It’ll give him some time to rest.”I bit my lip. My eyes darted over to Alex again. He wanted me to take care of him but in a different way. “C-can I speak to Val, please?”“Sure, flower. Hold on a minute.”I waited, my eyes darting around the apartment as I waited for Elias to give him the phone. My hands were beating a mile a minute. I was scared that I might mess things up. Alex might have been joking when he said he wanted to feel my lips wrapped around his dick. “Hey, petal. What’s up?” I sucked in a breath. “You’ve been with a lot of women, right?”“Uhm…you can say that. Why?”“I…I’m…Alex said something and I want to…I don’t know how,” I stuttered. Val muttered something to some
Fingertips were trailing down my spine. I could feel Alex’s warm breath against the top of my hair. His chest rose and fell in deep, steady breaths that let me know that he was still asleep. It couldn’t be him touching me. Through my sleep-dazed mind, I figured that my other alphas had returned, but something felt off. Wrong. It was a struggle to open my eyes, but when I finally managed to pry my eyelids apart, I locked eyes with a man I had never seen before. A scream rose in my throat but a gloved hand clamped down on my mouth before it could escape. Smirking, he leaned closer. “I’m going to make things easy for you, when I move my hand, you’re going to keep quiet. If you scream, I won’t hesitate to kill your alpha.”To show me that he was dead serious, he pulled a black knife from his boot and held it up for me to see. “He’s been drugged so there’s no use trying to wake him up.” The man slowly pulled his hand away from my mouth. “Here’s how this is going to go Daisy. You’re
“How long are you planning on standing there, Daisy?”I jerked in fright. When I snuck out of the room, I didn’t expect him to know since the floorboards made no sound. I had stayed in the room until darkness started setting in. And of course, hunger.“You’re not a vegan, are you?” he called again.Biting my lip, I stepped around the corner and searched the living room until my eyes locked in him where he stood in front of the stove in a small kitchen.The smell for frying onions filled my nostrils, making my stomach growl. I hadn’t eaten since Elias cooked us breakfast before they left this morning. Was it still the same day? How long had I been out for?A glance outside the window didn’t give me much information about where we were. All I saw was trees for miles and miles. The window had a lock that wouldn’t budge no matter what I tried.“Canned meat will have to do for now,” he muttered. “I’ll go hunting tomorrow to get us some real meat.”Was that going to be my chance to find an
“Here, drink this.”Alex hesitated as he stared down at the pills in Val’s hand. We all knew why he didn’t want to take them, but he had no choice. With a low sigh, he took them and swallowed them with a sip of water.He blamed himself for Daisy’s kidnapping even though we tried our best to make him understand that what happened was not his fault. The pills knocked him out. He was dead to the world when they broke into the penthouse and took her.I kept trying to assure myself that things could have been worse.Whoever took Daisy could have killed him if he was awake. Daisy could have gotten hurt.She could be hurt.“Did you get a hold of him?”My eyes snapped up when Jordan entered the room.“No,” he answered his brother.“They took Derek with your omega.”“Or he’s somewhere lying dead in a ditch,” Jordan muttered.Aiden glared at him. “How they fuck did they know that Derek was watching the penthouse?”“You think they jumped him?” Val asked.“Maybe they didn’t know that he was watch
I had never been afraid of thunderstorms.The moment the storm hit, I jerked awake. I could hear the branches of the trees snapping as the wind howled outside. Somewhere in the distance there was a loud boom of thunder sounded, making the windows rattle, and seconds later lightning lit the room.On unsteady legs, I pulled the blanket over my shoulders and snuck out of the bedroom. My steps faltered when I entered the living room and spotted Derek sitting on the couch, staring at the burning fire in the fireplace.I took a small step back but another round of thunder made me hurry closer to him.He smiled. “Scared?”“N-not usually.”Derek patted the couch next to him.I settled on the couch as far away from him as I could. Clutching the blanket under my chin, I stared at the dancing flames for a few seconds before I turned my head to study Derek’s side profile.His nostrils flared.I frowned when he tensed.“Do you have an omega for yourself?” I asked him.“No.”“Do you want an omega?”
I ached.And not just for my alphas.Everything hurt.I tugged on the shirt clinging to my skin. It was soaked with sweat. Moaning, I rolled onto my back and blinked blurry eyes up at the ceiling. My tongue was sticking to the roof of my mouth. I was thirsty. So thirsty.I wanted my alphas but Derek couldn’t get a hold of them.What if John got to them?“Hey.”I turned my head to watch Derek as he entered the room. He carried a small tray that he placed down on the bedside table. Taking a seat on the edge of the bed, he helped me sit up.“Some ice cold water,” he muttered, pressing the cold glass to my lips.I reached up to grip the glass as I parted my lips. Derek pulled the glass away after a few sips.“I still can’t get a hold of them,” he said softly. “But I send someone I trust to check it all out for us.”“It’s hot,” I croaked. “Hurts.”“I know.” He soothed a hand over my hair. “Do you want to take a shower?”I instantly nodded.After giving me a few more sips of water, he stood
“Where the fuck is she?”His loud exclamation was followed by the sound of flesh hitting flesh. I bit down on my tongue to stop the groan of pain from escaping. A few punches was nothing compared to the pain I had gone through when I was injured in the explosion.Gripping my chin, he tilted my head back.I watched him through swollen eyes and when he got close enough, I spit in his face.Snarling, he punched me in the stomach, making me swing back and forth. The chains dug into my skin, making fresh blood trail down my arms.I was glad they grabbed me and not Alex or Val. I had been trained to endure hours of torture. They were tough but Alex was already injured and they would have used that to get their answers.“Last chance,” John growled. “ Where is Daisy?”I gave him a bloody smile. “Fuck you.”Nothing happened.“Maybe you’ll start talking once your mother starts begging.”Bile rose in my throat but I swallowed it down. He was just joking. He had to be fucking joking.Nobody knew
Daisy stirred, making my eyes snap open.I held my breath as I stared at her, waiting for her eyes to open. But they didn’t. She turned onto her back and sighed. I stared at her for a few more seconds before I leaned back in the chair.Movement from the corner of my eyes caught my attention.David hovered in the doorway, eyes darting over Daisy and then to me.“How long is she going to be asleep?” I asked him.“For another hour at least,” he answered. “I gave her a strong dose because I didn’t know how long it would have taken you to get here. Your omega made it clear that she didn’t want another alpha to touch her.”My lips twitched but I didn’t smile. Despite Daisy’s constant claim that she wasn’t the right omega for us, she already accepted us as her alphas.“Let her sleep, I made some coffee,” David muttered.“Got anything stronger?” I asked him as I stood.“No.”I followed him out of the room and down the hall to the living room. David nodded towards a tray on the coffee tabel. “
The moment I opened my eyes, I realized that something was different. I felt different. Blinking up at the ceiling, I took slow deep breaths as I evaluated things. Besides from a few aches and pains, nothing about my body felt any different. I was sore from all the fucking we had been doing the previous night and the bond marks throbbed. Val’s mark hurt a little more than the others, but I was sure that it was because he hadn’t nursed it enough yet. I glanced at Val who was still fast asleep next to me and then silently slipped out of bed. Walking into the bathroom, I hesitated a moment before I turned towards the mirror. My eyes widened. Stumbling forward, I leaned forward to get a closer look. Raising a shaky hand I traced the raised skin of the mark with my finger tip. Out of all the places, he had to mark me on my left breasts directly over my nipple. It was going to be hell when he nurse his mark. I sighed. Using the toilet, I washed my hands and splashed my face with some
Elias knew what he was doing. Other than me who was starting to second-guess everything. I wasn’t so sure about my plan anymore. Insecurities were starting to fill my mind.I swallowed as I stared down at the toys Elias had placed on the end of the bed. Along with it was a bottle of lube, some towels and a packet of wipes.The lamps next to the bed were switched on, creating a soft glow around the room. One curtain had been closed and the other was half open, letting in some more light.“They should be home any minute now,” Elias said softly. “Wait here. I’ll send him to his room when they get back.” He smirked as he walked out of the room.I stood awkwardly by the bed, eyes darted around the room. Should I take a seat on the bed? Do a sexy pose like they do in the movies?It felt like forever before I heard voices coming from the kitchen. I waited a few more minutes and when Val didn’t appear, I made my way towards them.Only he wasn’t with them in the kitchen.Frowning, I glanced
“I’m not sure how I feel about this. You spend most of the time taking care of them and now you carry both their marks. It should have been fare if I got to mark you first.”I swallowed as Val slowly stalked closer.“I think I might need to hurt myself too.”“Don’t talk like that Val!” I frowned at him. “You don’t have to do anything to get my attention.”He raised an eyebrow. “I don’t?”“You have my attention now.”“Yeah, but for how long?”“However long you want it.”Valiant smiled but it slipped the moment Elias appeared. Muttering under his breath he turned and then fell back onto the bed I had been busy making.I glared at him, but he ignored me.“Your mother called,” Elias said softly. “She wants you to return home immediately.”I blinked at him. “I’m sorry, I think I misunderstood. My mother who has been ignoring me for most my life, wants me to return home?”“Yes.”“Why?”Elias shrugged. His eyes darted to Val for a few seconds before the locked on me again. I blushed under hi
I was glad that Alex had done bonded Daisy before she could run away.It was going to take some time for Daisy to work on her issues, but we were going to be by her side every step of the way.Although I had imagined a different kind of bonding when Daisy said that she wanted us to bond her.A sigh fell from my lips as I turned onto my side.Daisy was snuggled between Alex and Val, fast asleep.My eyes locked on her shoulder. The wound was ugly red and stood out against her pale skin. I swallowed and forced my eyes away from her bond mark.After hesitating for only a second more, I slowly slid out of bed and walked out of the nest.A few minutes later I was seated behind the computer with a steaming cup of coffee and my folder with notes open next to me. But no matter how hard I tried, the words deserted me. All I could think about was Daisy and the fact that she was now our omega.We were now officially deemed a pack.“Why do you always slip out of bed in the middle of the night?”My
As it turned out, much to their disappointment, their parents were already at the penthouse. They were already halfway here when their mom called. I was actually happy that they arrived when they did. As eager as I was to bond them, I wanted to clear the air with their family first. Especially Sylvia. She started glaring at me the moment she walked though the door. Mom Bee greeted me with a hug and muttered words that she was happy that I was okay and home. While Elias and Mom Bee finished cooking dinner, I helped set the table and then joined the others in the living room. Alex pulled me onto his lap before I could take a seat next to him. Colour flooded my cheeks but I relaxed against his chest. My eyes locked with Alister’s for a few seconds before I quickly looked away. “How are you doing Daisy?” he asked softly. “I’m doing okay, thank you for asking.” Sylvia scoffed. “How can you be doing okay when you’re the reason my boys got injured?” “Sylvia.” “Mom!” She ignored them
“Hey,” I said softly.Daisy’s eyes darted up to me and immediately darted away again. “Hi.”I hesitated in the doorway, waiting for her to invite me in, but she didn’t. There was an awkwardness between us that hasn’t been there before and it was driving me crazy.“Can I come in?”Daisy nodded.My eyes darted around the room as I entered.Her clothes were scattered around one side of the bed and on the other side it was folded neatly where she sat, busy sorting through it. Was she planning on leaving?My heart squeezed painfully in my chest but I ignored the pain and took a seat on the edge of the bed.“Daisy, we need to talk.”She paused for a few seconds and then finished folding the shirt and placing it on the pile of other neatly folded shirts before she raised her head to look at me.Instead of saying a word, I showed her.“John’s men trashed the apartment when they came looking for you. I found it on the floor in the nest.”Daisy swallowed loudly. “Does Alex know?”“No.”Licking
“Good morning, how are you feeling?”My eyes darted around the kitchen, searching but only finding David seated at the table. I could have sworn I smelled Alex’s scent on the pillow when I woke up. We had a conversation and he told me that Elias was in the hospital.Was it all a dream?“He’s outside, making some calls,” David said softly.My shoulders slumped as relieve flooded me.“You didn’t answer my question. How are you feeling?”I licked my lips as I stepped further into the kitchen. “A little shaky and I have a headache.”“That’s because you haven’t had a descend meal in a while.” David close his laptop and stood. “I’ll make you some breakfast.”I hovered close to the table and watched him as he moved around the kitchen. A few minutes later the smell of frying bacon filled the air, making my stomach growl.“I…uhm…t-thank you for…what you did,” I stuttered.Colour flooded my cheeks when he turned around to look at me.“How did you know that…it’s what I needed?” I asked him, eyes
Daisy stirred, making my eyes snap open.I held my breath as I stared at her, waiting for her eyes to open. But they didn’t. She turned onto her back and sighed. I stared at her for a few more seconds before I leaned back in the chair.Movement from the corner of my eyes caught my attention.David hovered in the doorway, eyes darting over Daisy and then to me.“How long is she going to be asleep?” I asked him.“For another hour at least,” he answered. “I gave her a strong dose because I didn’t know how long it would have taken you to get here.
